The bus shelter outside Mannofield Church on Great Western Road, which was very badly damaged in an accident in July, is to be replaced.

I am pleased that the litter bin missing its door outside the Seafield shops was replaced after I contacted council staff about it.

The latest police report for Braeside and Mannofield has now been published. Issues covered include theft, road policing, antisocial behaviour, a police update on COVID-19 and information about recent scams.

After being contacted by a number of residents, I asked council staff for an update on work to treat the weeds growing on pavements and in gutters in our area.

I have recently been contacted by a number of residents concerned about changes to the grass cutting of open spaces in our area.

Aldi has now submitted a formal planning application to build a supermarket on Countesswells Road opposite the entrance to RGC’s Countesswells playing field.

Following a number of break-ins to sheds in the area, police are reminding residents to take some simple precautions to protect their property.

After being contacted by a local resident, I asked the council to empty overflowing litter bins at the Seafield shops and the Craigielea Avenue play area and an overflowing dog waste bin on Countesswells Road.

I have received complaints from residents about a minority of people causing problems by leaving litter on pavements or open spaces.

A minority of dog walkers continue to cause problems by dropping bags of dog waste on pavements, open spaces or in people’s gardens. Some people even hang these bags on trees, shrubs or hedges.
